The hotel was developed by Madeira Hotel Investors LLC and is located in Madeira Beach Town Center near John’s Pass Village & Boardwalk, the Salvador Dali Museum, War Veterans Memorial Park and Clearwater Marine Aquarium. The property is also proximate to the headquarters of Home Shopping Network, Spectrum, Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital and the University of South Florida.
